Welcome to the Personal Assistant Network Website
All regulations, policies and rules set forth by a Consumer Directed Personal Assistant agency or program apply and must be adhered to by consumers and personal assistants participating in and accessing www.PACONNECT.info.
All Postings and listings must contain the PA's full name followed by their PA number (on ID card) as issued and designated by a CDPAP.
At least 1 (one) type of contact (telephone number, e-mail, etc.) must be included in all postings.
PA's listed MUST BE currently employed by a consumer(s) and have at LEAST 6 MOPNTHS or more experience working in CDPAP.
The following are for suggestion purposes only and may be helpful.
(1) PA's can include when (days and/or hours) they are available and willing to work.
(2) A posting/listing can include a location (borough or neighborhood).
(3) PA's can include "situations wanted" such as "fill-in", "back up", "part time", "temporary" or "permanent" positions.
***Please note: "fill-in" and "back-up" slots are ones that are uncovered when all other regularly scheduled and employed PA's are not available to cover.
(4) PA's who post as available for "emergency" cases and positions should have experience with crisis situations and may need special needs, complex medical and first aid knowledge in areas such as ventilators, suctioning, catheters, wound care and others.
(5) PA's who do not have computer access can "buddy up" with someone who does (either a consumer or another PA) to post and search on PACONNECT.
